I just got my 610i charge & have a ?. before i use it. There are two banana jacks thqat i would mormally plug the balancer into, but this charger has the balancer built in. So can i solder a deans plug onto the two wires that come with the charger & plug them into the sockets to charge the battery ?.

If the charger has a balancer built in it should have some sort of balance harness that goes between the charger and the battery's balance tap.

You can solder a deans connector to charge the battery but it will not balance that way.

James it does have the jack for the balance harness. I just want to know what the banana jacks are for.

If I understand you correctly, I would think that the banana jacks are for connecting the charger to a power supply. There should also be some kind of harness that goes between the battery and charger like linc said....

There is a cord with 4mm plugs for the power supply out the left side. Then there are 2 banana jacks on top by the jack for the balancing plate.

I just found the online manual for the 610 charger.

Those are the otputs for charging a nimh battery, or 1s lipo.

The 4mm banana plugs are for connecting to the battery main power. You have to connect that when you balance as well. You do not have to have the balancing jack plugged in to charge, but you must have the charging jack connected for balancing.

James i found out that plug is the main charge plug & must be used in conjunction with the balance adapter plate for your pack to balance charge.

I thought i heard this charger will let you see the individual cell voltage but i cant find that function.

I found the function i needed. The induvidual voltages are as follows after everything setteled down a few minutes. Is this okay ?.

4.19
4.20
4.20
4.21

You wouldn't be able to safely put a lot of amps through just the balancing harness, so you need those 4mm plugs for a decent charge rate, just like most charge through balancers do.

That is pretty balanced there, looks great.

Usually my packs are balanced perfectly after charging thru my lba balancer, or my multimeter is not very accurate. Might be mostly the multimeter! I was wondering how they were able to offer a 10amp charge rate thru the balance harness. Makes sense that you have to use the outputs to do the charge and the balance harness regulates the cells individually and cuts off the charger should there be any issues. It is a good idea and goes a long way to make charging lipos foolproof!
